Abstract: L'invention concerne un classeur possédant deux sections latérales réunies de façon souple par une section de base de manière à permettre au classeur d'être ouvert et fermé. Un organe de fixation destiné à fixer des documents dans le classeur est fixé à une section latérale adjacente au bord de la section latérale la plus éloignée de la section de base, de telle sorte que, lorsque le classeur est ouvert, un document peut être fixé à l'organe de fixation de façon à s'étendre sur la section de base et, lorsque le classeur est par la suite fermée, le document se replie, adjacent à la section de base, sans se froisser. Des modes de réalisation privilégiés comprennent un mécanisme de glissière qui peut glisser d'une première position, où il est enclenché avec seulement une section latérale, à une seconde position, où il est enclenché avec les deux sections latérales, maintenant ainsi le classeur ouvert. Des modes de réalisation particulièrement privilégiés ont une feuille d'insert en matière plastique adaptée pour protéger en outre les documents stockés dans le classeur et s'opposer au froissement de ceux-ci.

Inventor: ZHAN QIWEN
IPC: G01N21/65

Abstract: Special polarization states are generated that have unique focusing properties that may be used to create extremely strong longitudinal fields. Combined with surface plasmon excitation, these polarization states can be used in apertureless near-field scanning optical microscopy systems. A radially polarized beam is directed into a plasmon-generating optical fiber comprising a metal coated, tapered, apertureless tip. The apertureless tip excites surface plasmon waves and direct the surface plasmon waves to the tip when a radially polarized beam propagates along the plasmon-generating optical fiber. An objective lens collects the near field optical signals from a sample positioned adjacent to the apertureless. Potential spatial resolution of the apertureless NSOM could reach beyond 10 nm. Such strong field enhancement allows the development of a reliable nano-Raman system that can measure mechanical as well as chemical compositions of samples with resolution beyond 10 nm.
